Cooling Large Industrial Parts
in 60 seconds
How do you take large industrial equipment from 350 to 100 degrees
Fahrenheit in under 60 seconds?
This was the challenge faced by Anderson Machine Manufacturing, a Richmond, VA-based
company which builds custom machines for a broad spectrum of industries and applications.
In 2009, one of their clients, a multinational corporation, sought Anderson Machine’s aid in
creating a machine to compress and cool the components of an industrial-size gearbox shaft.
The client wanted extremely rapid
cooling, so top of the line air equipment
was a necessity. Since the components
of the machine had to remain dry,
mist cooling was not an option.
Todd Anderson, Vice President and
Mechanical Engineer at Anderson
Machine, explains that “as a mechanical
engineer, you know to do what you’re
good at and find the best experts you
can for other areas. We knew that in this
case, meeting the client’s requirements
meant finding an extremely high level of
expertise in air technology.”
After learning about Vortec online,
Anderson explained the machine his
client sought. Vortec engineers analyzed
the specifications Anderson provided
and developed a solution. “Building as
many different machines as we do, I
deal with a lot of different vendors,”
Anderson states. “With Vortec, they
hit the ground running, grasping our
needs right away instead of needing to
have things explained to them twice.
We told them how big the assembly
was, what materials were involved and
the timeframe. They performed the
heat load calculations to determine
which products would work, then sent a
spreadsheet showing the products with
the right cooling capacity.” By using four
of Vortec’s model 610 Cold Air Guns,
Anderson was able to deliver a machine
which cooled the equipment quickly,
meeting the client’s requirements.
